Ikat Nails

Hi everyone!

As the title suggests, I have some ikat nails to show you today. I first seen these on instagram, and one of my favourite nail girls on there (@lafemmelulu) did this amazing ikat mani, and posted a quick tutorial on how to do these. In my opinion hers are much, much better but for my first try at these I don't think they were so bad.

I started off with a really nice neutral shade of (what I think is) Color Club Earthy Angel. I love these shades of polish. I just find them comforting. I randomly added some red blobs in China Glaze - Hey Sailor, and added OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls in the centre of the red. Then using a black striping polish I randomly added little black wisps around the red polish to complete the look.

I don't know what ikats are, but I like the print! And so do many other bloggers because I've seen this popping up a lot this week.
